Company:

BioLegend

Product Name:

APC anti-human CD235a (Glycophorin A) Antibody

Catalog Number:

349114

Clone Number:

HI264

I was screening a few different cell lines for Glycophorin A expression, using this antibody and one other from a different company. This antibody gave me wildly erroneous results both times I tried it, disagreeing with the literature as well as the other antibody. It binds nonspecifically to non-Glycophorin A.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Applications

Flow Cytometry

Sample

K562, Daudi, TF-1

Primary Incubation

Titration of antibody starting at 1:10 1:2 across for 30' at 4*C

Blocking Agent

Fc blocked 1st with Fcx Trustain

Secondary Incubation

Pre-conjugated so no secondary for this one

Tertiary Incubation

N/A

Detection

Flow cytometer (Novocyte)

Results Summary

The (not-preconjugated so I used an anti-mouse Fc secondary to detect) clone from Bioexell detected wonderfully, with the results of K562/TF-1s expressing Glycophorin A matching that of the literature. Erroneously, the Biolegend Glycophorin A clone showed that Daudis (which were included to be my negative control) have the most, which is just incorrect.
